The School of Science & Technology has partnered with HPE, and small-to-medium sized businesses, to work with our students for the purpose of technology transformation.

By Mr Shamim Quadir (Senior Communications Officer), Published

On Wednesday 11 September, the School of Science & Technology hosted an SME HPE Technology Assessment Day, building upon the School’s partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE).

The purpose of the event was for the School’s Corporate Relations & Employability Unit and its HPE technology experts to engage small to medium-sized enterprises (SME) who are interested in helping to extend HPE’s Force for Good SME business consultancy programme to the School. Providing our students with the invaluable opportunity to work on an industry project for the purpose of technology transformation.

In the programme, students work over 10 weeks to propose a technological solution to solve a challenge faced by the SME.

Reflecting on the event, Mohson Khan, Head of Corporate Relations & Employability at the School, said:

Inviting our HPE technology experts and SMEs on campus today was another step in all the efforts being made to build this new partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the School of Science & Technology.

Some of the SMEs present on the day will be selected to participate in our new consultancy module for final year computer scientists. It was great to meet these companies in person.

Our HPE technology experts who also joined us will play a key role in taking forward some of the business solutions our students propose. This new consultancy module forms part of a suite of credit bearing modules led by the Corporate Relations & Employability Unit as part of CSGs Career Activation Programme; structurally embedding professional experience in the curriculum.

We hope to continue to work with HPE to grow this module further, involving more students and SMBs delivering multiple benefits to all involved.
